Photos: Coby MP-C7082
It is a rare day indeed that we come across a piece of technology that so utterly fails at its intended purpose, but American electronics manufacturer Coby has managed to produce just such a device. Prepare to witness the astounding, the fearsome, the horrifying Coby MP-C7082. (Try not to stare.)
Here's where the trouble begins. Witness the terrifying direction pad with sticky buttons! The Coby MP-C7082's five-way control pad is unintuitive, unresponsive, and generally prone to causing migraines.
It's even pleasantly compact and feels nice in the hand, even if it is the devil's playground.
The top menu is colorful, icon-driven, and intuitive, but that's where the fun ends. Other menus require hoop-jumping to access and are difficult to navigate.
This Flash-based MP3 player looks unassuming enough. It even has some iPod-like design appeal going for it. Could it be...a possessed iPod?
Be astounded by the 2.5mm mono super mini-jack! Not only is the MP-C7082's headphone jack nonstandard, making it a pain to use your own favorite headphones, it also outputs hollow, flat sound. Plus, our unit--though probably a defect--only played through the right channel.
Unless you have a masochistic need to submit yourself to unpleasant experiences, steer far clear of this little player.
Plus, it's super thin--nothing like a slim profile to earn you some brownie points in the gadget world. Careful: don't allow the skinny beast to lull you into submission!
